Momma never taught me how to love
Daddy never taught me how to feel
Momma never taught me how to touch
Daddy never showed me how to heal

Momma never set a good example
Daddy never held momma’s hand
Momma found everything hard to handle
Daddy never stood up like a man

I’ve walked around broken, emotionally frozen
Getting it on, getting it wrong

How do wewe upendo someone without getting hurt
How do wewe upendo someone without crawling in the dirt
So far in my life clouds have blocked the sun
How do wewe love, how do wewe upendo someone
How do wewe love, how do wewe upendo someone

I was always the chosen child
The biggest scandal I became
They told me I’d never survive
But survival’s my middle name

I’ve walked around hoping just barely coping
Getting it on, getting it wrong

How do wewe upendo someone without getting hurt
How do wewe upendo someone without crawling in the dirt
So far in my life clouds have blocked the sun
How do wewe love, how do wewe upendo someone
How do wewe love, how do wewe upendo someone

It’s hard to talk to say what’s deep inside
It’s hard to tell the truth when you’ve always lie

How do wewe upendo someone without getting hurt
How do wewe upendo someone without crawling in the dirt
So far in my life clouds have blocked the sun
How do wewe love, how do wewe upendo someone

How do wewe upendo someone and make it last
How do wewe upendo someone (Love someone) without tripping on the past
So far in my life clouds have blocked the sun
How do wewe love, how do wewe upendo someone
How do wewe love, how do wewe upendo someone
Someone
